Red Riding Hood

Lessons from ‘Red Riding Hood’:

Anyone can be a werewolf in disguise.
Even yourself,
with a hidden beast inside.

With a beastly form or not,
even humans
can be worse than beasts!

If werewolves turn back human when dead,
which is their true nature – wolf or human?
Or both, in flux?

That not in flux,
is the constant Buddha-nature –
than all humans and beasts have!
